You're right. Coins and small bills are easily ignored, but you'll be surprised how much they add up given a certain period of time. And they do not make you flinch either. Little does it.

Brad – yeah, the C64 did kind of rock.

Journey – that works too. Annoyingly I do get a fair amount of check queries each month for things that can’t go online pay like stuff for my kids’ school activities, book fairs etc. I also like quick easy access to my real balance since there’s a lag between when you submit payment and when your real balance shows in account ( you know, so banks can make money on the float – which is pretty annoying).

I am all about the multiple accounts in ING every week something small like $20 is shifted from my checking to my savings account. I don’t really notice the 20 bucks, but my vacation fund is over $800 for the year! (Wife does it too).

Why do you actually take the time to balance a check book? You seem to like the online account, and rarely write a check so what is to balance?

Some good tips, but my response is about something else. Don’t apologize, Darwin – the Commodore 64 WAS cool!
